The honest brief

Big-AGI

Its 'beam' runs one prompt across many models side-by-side to compare, with one-click self-host on Vercel or Docker.

  • Beam compares many models at once
  • One-click self-host on Vercel or Docker
  • Connects to local engines (Ollama, LM Studio)
  • Voice, image gen, web search, code exec
  • Bring-your-own API keys required
  • Single-maintainer project
  • No managed hosting or support tier

LibreChat

Multi-user auth built in — the closest to a self-owned, team-wide ChatGPT across every provider.

  • Unifies many providers in one UI
  • Agents, code, RAG, web search
  • Runs on your own infrastructure
  • BYO keys or local endpoints
  • Self-host + Docker setup needed
  • BYO model keys (usage costs)
  • Maintenance burden on you
